Taste

While Lu Nanfeng was deep in thought about He Lixue's changes in personality and abilities, He Lixue herself had arrived in front of her computer at the IT Security Department.

She instantly continued creating the security system she planned on gifting to Lu Nanfeng by the time she finished her time at the company, and she was entirely focused on it.

Initially, she had been hired to look for faults in a few programs in roll out, but when Manager Mo saw what she was working on, he put every other task for her on hold and allowed her to focus fully on writing the security program.

The others were also very eager to see the program she was making, even Yang Shirou was unable to hold back her curiosity and would ask her for tips and pointers from time to time.

Everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was good as the majority of them were working in the conference room in order to ask each other questions and find answers to the things they could not understand themselves.

He Lixue was the one who was asked most questions, but she never lost her patience. Instead, she continued to explain everything in a cheerful voice, and all of them understood what she said, and their understanding grew immensely.

After work, as He Lixue was about to leave, she suddenly saw Lu Nanfeng leaning against the wall, looking at her with an indecipherable expression.

"Brother Nanfeng," she called sweetly, but she was unaware that her smile seemed different from the smile that the original He Lixue made, and that her eyes were so different from the ones he had seen in the pictures.

"Could you allow me to invite you for dinner tonight?" he asked, purposefully lowering his stance with a bit of self-deprecation.

He Lixue instantly felt that something was wrong, but she did not know what it was and seeing Lu Nanfeng sad made her uncomfortable.

What could possibly have made his mood so bad? She did not know, but she was eager to find out, so she quickly nodded her head. "Since Brother Nanfeng wants to invite me for dinner, then naturally I shall comply!" she said.

Although she could feel that something weird was up with Lu Nanfeng, she did not once guess that it had something to do with her.

But since he was feeling bad, then it was only natural for her to try and make his mood better. He had been by her side when she needed someone, and now she could return the favor.

Yang Shirou managed to see Lu Nanfeng pick up He Lixue, and she suddenly felt relieved. If she had continued to antagonize He Lixue, would she even be able to stay in the company?

Lu Nanfeng and He Lixue had come to work together in the morning, and now they left work together in the early evening. The upper echelons of the company who noticed this were all even more curious about He Lixue's identity.

Could it be they were getting a Madam soon?

Lu Nanfeng took He Lixue to a restaurant that specialized in Sichuan cuisine, and he looked at He Lixue curiously. Looking at her, he found that her eyes lit up the moment she saw the menu, but his eyes dimmed slightly.

He heard from the servants of the He mansion that Miss He did not like spicy food, but here she was, eager to eat something spicy.

"What kind of food do you like?" Lu Nanfeng suddenly asked, and He Lixue contemplated for some time. "I like spicy and bold flavors. And I love sweets! I don't like bitter or sour flavors."

The more he heard, the worse Lu Nanfeng felt. From his investigation, He Lixue did not like sweets, and she could not eat spicy food. But now she said that those two things were her favorites? This was weird.

Lu Nanfeng had invited her to eat with him because he wanted to test her, but from the beginning, he felt that this was a completely different person to the one who fell into the coma, but how could that be?

During the meal, Lu Nanfeng asked about her hobbies, tested her knowledge, and while the talk seemed very casual for He Lixue, he found that it was very different from before.

Such a change should not happen even if she had been in a coma. Could it be that something had happened to her before?

The truth was that Lu Nanfeng was quite sure that it was not a split personality, as if it was, where did her skills come from? No one had skills like hers out of nowhere, so something else had to be the cause of this change in her, but he was also quite certain that she was He Lixue and not some woman who had been found to look the same.

He was puzzled, and the more he spoke with her, the more confused he became, but nothing was visible on his face. Even though He Lixue could sense his worries, she did not know why, and all she could do was talk more to try and make him relax, which in turn ended up worrying him more.

Lu Nanfeng drove He Lixue home after the meal. He wanted to spend more time with her, he wanted to unravel all her mysteries, and he wanted to make her his.

The reason he wanted to know who she really was, was not because it mattered much to him, but because he was afraid that one day she would disappear from his side, much as she had appeared out of nowhere. If that happened, he would not know what to do.
